KNIGHT Frank has committed to its second long-term lease in Scotland’s central belt this year, moving its Glasgow commercial property team to a ‘best-in-class’ office development in the city centre.
The commercial property consultancy revealed it has taken a first floor suite at 101 St Vincent Street – relocating after a decade at 25 Bothwell Street. The firm’s building consultancy team managed the delivery of the new office’s fit-out.
B-listed 101 St Vincent Street has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment by its owner, Stelmain. Enhancements include going all electric on a 100% renewable tariff and achieving an EPC ‘A’ rating, with end-of-journey facilities added to the basement.
The move follows the relocations of Knight Frank’s Edinburgh team to 30 Semple Street and its Aberdeen office to Albyn Place.
John Rae, head of office at Knight Frank Glasgow, said, “Our Glasgow team has evolved a great deal in recent years. The capital markets team remains one of the most active in the city, trading valuations has become one of our core offerings, and we’re doing more deals across the country from Glasgow – whether it is retail parks in Inverness, leisure facilities in Yorkshire, or land sales in Argyll. At the same time, our office agency, valuations, building consultancy, and property management teams continue to do well, working on some of the best-known properties in the city and beyond. 101 St Vincent Street provides us with a great space to take the firm forward in Glasgow and support our colleagues across the UK.”
